Well, really, caring about graphics is decline behavior in its purest and unrefined form.

I've played a shit-ton of old RPGs this year. Baldur's Gate 2 is graphically inferior to say, Dragon Age Inquisition. Gameplay and Choice and Consequence and a bunch of other things matter more. I dont really get the shitposting about graphics. Like, I've literally never looked at a bethesda game and gone "wow, that looks amazing!" except for oblivion, but it was more "wow, this doesnt look like shit here in the year 2006!"
But oblivion looked like shit.

Doubtful, very doubtful. A man like Chris Avellone has enough prestige in the game dev world, that he can pretty much say what the fukc he want, ain't nobody can do shit about it.

He's pretty much the rock-star of game development. so.
He can't. Nobody can say anything against another SH if that company has a huge fanboy fanbase.
Just, look at what happened to Spector recently.

The problem with graphic is that they are not just "Nothing special, seen better" they are actively ugly and distracting from overall game experience. A game does not need top of the line DirectX15 enabled graphics to look good, it needs good, coherent design, some aesthetic direction and if you are going for a realistic theme, as post-nuclear shooter/rpg in real american City is, it should at least be somewhat realistic looking. Fallout graphics are held by both the shitty gamebryo engine and the ineptitute/unwillingness to change of Betheshida who creates character models that look like made of plasticin, their animations are poor, the textures are of low quality or they are stretched by their stupid engine and look atrocious.

I personally really dont like the bloom infested, shiny, plastic looking graphics of F3/F4. They want their game to be at least partialy serious and they use graphics that TellTale would use in their Interactive Novels.

Francis is very well spoken when he wants to.



I wish people would stop reposting that guy's videos on the Codex. He is morbidly obese, people should ignore him completely, stop giving him money, then he might not be able to afford stuffing his face and it might save his life.

I wonder how CDPotato feels knowing FO4 will snatch all GOTY awards.

That's ironic, considering that it's more than 105 % probable, that the majority of the codex users are overweight obese faggots, who sit @ the basement with armchair theories... remember that :)

So will there be a codex LP of this trainwreck? I want to get some enjoyment out of this release, not just tears and rage.

Why do the d-pad icons look like playstation d-pads? Another case of Bethesda cutting corners?
